  1. 1. Type 2 Diabetes in a Defined Population The Skaraborg Hypertension and Diabetes Project

    Författare :Carl Johan Östgren; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocrinology; HOMA; primary care; all-cause mortality; Pro12Ala; PPAR-gamma; survival; insulin resistance; beta-cell function; type 2 diabetes; hypertension; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Sammanfattning : To examine cardiovascular risk factors, glycaemic control and survival in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated in primary care, patients with T2DM and a randomised age-stratified sample of men and women aged ≥40 years living in the same community were surveyed 1992-1994. ß–Cell function and insulin resistance were estimated using the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA).

  3. 2. STAT5 expression and regulation in mammary epithelial cells

    Författare :Hanne Olsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :STAT5; JAK2; PPAR-gamma; ER; MAPK; mammary epithelial cell differentiation;

    Sammanfattning : The mammary gland of an adult mammal undergoes cycles of proliferation and differentiation influenced by growth factors, peptide, and steroid hormones, e.g. epidermal growth factor (EGF), prolactin (PRL) and estrogen (E). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Mechanisms regulating metabolic and mitogenic events in skeletal muscle : implications for insulin resistance and exercise

    Författare :Jeffrey W Ryder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :skeletal muscle; glucose transport; GLUT4; hypoxia; exercise; Type II diabetes; MAPK; PPAR[gamma] thiazolidinediones;

    Sammanfattning : Reduced glucose transport in skeletal muscle is a hallmark feature of Type II diabetes. Numerous mechanisms acutely or chronically regulate skeletal muscle glucose transport. The role of GLUT4, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor [gamma] (PPAR[gamma]) were examined in skeletal muscle. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Approaches for the localization and identification of human cancer genes

    Författare :Wong-Onn Lui; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :CGH; FISH; SKY; karyotyping; SNP array; expression array; VHL-associated pheochromocytomas; hemangioblastomas; familial renal cell carcinoma; constitutional translocation; sporadic follicular thyroid tumors; chromosomal alterations; fusion oncogene; FTCF-PPAR gamma l; PAX8-PPAR gamma l.;

    Sammanfattning : Chromosomal aberrations have been recognized as important observations that underpin the concept of a mutator phenotype in cancer. In this thesis, two basic strategies were applied to map the location of cancer-related genes in several types of cancers. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Identification of natural activators of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor : relevance to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis

    Författare :Jane Wigren; Ernst Oliw; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Polyunsaturated fatty acids induce peroxisome proliferation. This phenomenon is mediated by the ligand-dependent transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR). This thesis is an investigation on the role of eicosanoids and oxidized products of linoleic acid for the activation of PPARs. LÄS MER
